About Pot Noodle
Pot Noodle is an instant noodle snack launched in Britain in 1977, sold in a plastic pot to which boiling water is added. It became a fixture of British student and late-night eating and has been advertised with deliberately provocative campaigns. Unilever acquired it with the Golden Wonder snack business.
